@stanleybmanly use his name but they’re going to ask for a SS #.

No, he wants you to buy a Mercedes-Benz! You never listen.

@stanleybmanly You don’t come across as a Ferrari,you hit me as a Bently man.

Of course! Famously, the “Eye of the needle” actually refers to a narrow hair-pin corner on a famous race-track that only a Ferrari will be able to fully conquer.

Lease it in his name and give it unto me. It’s the only Christian thing to do.

My friends all drive Porsches when they go out for a night on the town.

@smudges You’d better make amends then! (Finally, someone got my allusion.)

I worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends…

I don’t get it. What does Jesus have to do with buying a Ferrari?

JLoon's avatar

Jesus wants you to buy a Ferrari and give it to that single mom driving the 1995 Dodge Neon…

Unless you want to burn.

Oh lord won’t you buy me a fer ar rie. Does not work…

Nothing works. I’ve lost all faith in Creflo and Leroy

Dutchess_III's avatar

Believe in Lelo and Stitch instead. They are much more likely to get you a Ferrari @stanleybmanly.

The catholic church is headquartered in the Vatican, which is in Rome, Italy.

Ferraris are made in Italy.

Do you really need any more signs?!?

What does Rome or the Vatican have to do with it?

Jesus was an Israelite, and Christianity started in Jerusalem, some 1,450 miles from Rome, Italy,

stanleybmanly's avatar

Without Rome none of us would give a hoot one way or another about Christianity. Christianity would be just another one of the dozens of obscure cults propagating the classical period.

Won’t do much good. I don’t drive anymore anyway

Right @stanleybmanly? Some genius saw that Jewish rebbel as a means to control the masses in a way the pagan religions couldn’t.
Hence the First Council of Nicea.

Yup. Constantine figured out that Christians must be as rigid, dogmatic and plagued with bureaucracy as the state itself.
